Pixie learns to play

Pixie was a rescue dog, so we don't know about her past. When we got her, she didn't know how to play. She didn't like any toys. It has been 4 weeks, and through patience, trial and error, and assistnace from Petco in Pasadena, she has found a couple of toys she likes (she prefers stuffed, soft toys).She likes a Cesar Milan Squirrel that is almost at big as she is. She attacks the squirrel on a regular basis. After 1 weekend of tossing and tugging, she now plays a fetch type game with her stuffed butterfly.On occasion, she will chase a small tennis ball, but quickly looses interest, preferring her stuffed animals.She does like her puppy kong filled with treats when we leave. And she likes the Petco "sushi roll" chews. Either of these will keep her playing and chewing quietly.
